2023-24 Upper Deck Premier Hockey represents one of the sports biggest when it comes to super-premium cards. It’s not quite The Cup, but it is on the elite tier just below it. Four of the six cards in every hobby box are hits: one autographed patch card, another autograph and two memorabilia cards. More than that, the checklist has lots of on-card ink and high-end patch pieces.

The base set is a modest 150 cards covering the game’s past, present and future. The first 90 players are vets and come numbered to 299. They’re followed by 10 retired greats that have just 99 copies. The final 50 cards are rookies numbered to 399.

Veteran and Legends parallels include Gold (/65, Legends /25), Ruby (/35, Legends /15) and Platinum (1/1). It gets bigger for Rookies with Bronze (/199), Gold (/65), Ruby (/49), Rose Gold (/25), Purple (/10) and Platinum (1/1).

Autograph and memorabilia versions for select cards break down to:

Legends:

Rookies:

With one autographed patch card in every hobby box, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that there are multiple styles to hunt.
